ALL SCI-FI

[Also released as: "The Meteor Monster"]

A science fiction western yarn — a combination which isn't as rare as you might think (see: Valley of Gwangi, Beast from Hollow Mountain, others).

The story involves a meteorite (not a meteor, a difference which sci-fi fans should know) which impacts near a small town. A teenager (Gilbert Perkins) is affected by the radiation it gives off. (For the record, there is no such thing as radioactive meteorites. Don't tell Hollywood. It would break their hearts.)

The teenager is transformed into a hideous, hairy beast who is hidden by his mother (Anne Gwynne) to prevent the law from capturing him after the monster-boy commits several murders. The trailer seems to suggest that a young girl is using the monster to wreak vengeance on people she has a grudge against.

This old Western/horror/science fiction movie was produced and directed by Jacques Marquette.
